Producer To Watch: Louie Lastic

Sticky Post By On July 9, 2014

 

 

Little is known about Louie Lastic other than he must have been a fan of Remember The Titans, and that he has without a doubt helped to propel Virginia-based artist GoldLink into national hip-hop relevancy after producing three tracks on his debut project titled The God Complex. Lastic is one of the pioneers of a sound that is now becoming known as “future bounce,” and appears to have a very bright future ahead of him. Follow him on twitter and stay up to date with his releases via soundcloud.

He’s mainly working with the whole new Chicago Rap/Hip-Hop music scene like Dreezy, Lil’ Herb, Z Money, King Louie to name a few. His biggest breakthrough came with Dreezy, the Female MC spit dope lyrics over his production on her mixtape, “Schizophrenia” (which I recommend you download, if you haven’t done so).

Artist To Watch: Raury

Introducing Raury, the ATL native has been creating buzz off his,”God’s Whisper” single; that was released in March. The kid is only 17 and does songwriting, perform, produce, plays the guitar (he’s talented). He has that rock infused with hip-hop sound. I was talking to my colleague Ciara Smith (who told me about Raury) and she told me about how he’s growing and his shows are amazing. She also mentioned how the whole ATL is talking about this kid. he will also be performing with Outkast on their #AtLast concert in September. The kid is above standards for his age.

This kid is too smart that he has this marketing/ brand strategy called, “Anti-Tour”. Now “Anti-Tour” is when Raury goes perform at a venue where the most major artists are performing. For example, he did that to Childish Gambino when he was in ATL and the crowd loved him. It’s what Complex calls, “Guerilla Style” performance in which he “steals” fans away.

Anyways enough talk and just listen to “God’s Whisper” and “Sunshine” below.  S/O to Ciara Smith

Artist To Watch: Jaye$

Sticky Post By On July 2, 2014

This kid named Jaye$ from Oakland impressed me with his bars and Westcoast representation. He recently released his “Light Skin Brotha 2” album on iTunes. The guy reminds me of a blend of Dom K and Problem, because he has those laidback raps on his beats with the loud vocals. Watch “Babe Ruth” below:
